It's really good to hear from you. I see the date of my last comment to you. About two weeks after that, my father died. Then about three weeks after that, my mother-in-law died. So life has been crazy and difficult. Also I gained weight during all the gatherings related to the deaths.

I like your idea about the two names. I am not sure if I will do it or not. I was actually thinking of adding an account for a different reason. I was going to try to "trick" myself into giving myself some gently, firm, loving advice. So as Judi_Cutie, I can still be the giver of advice, but I can also have another identity.

We'll see. In the meantime, I am tracking food again and off sweet again. I just hope it sticks this time!

Hello! I was reading back over some old blogs and comments on my blogs and I saw your pretty blue dress! I thought, it is time to come and say hi to FB.

I'm still plugging away. I gained back a little of my weight and then lost a little, but I have not been really steady with this for a while. I have been trying to get back on track. Today was a pretty good day.

I found my way to the Beck team and am so glad I saw your comment on "promises!" I'm going to roll that around in my thoughts often enough that it will pop up instantly when I come close to not following through on 'time for me.' Thank you!
